Mississippi State Offers Frankston’s Kendrick Rogers

Kendrick Rogers received his biggest offer to date Friday as the 2016 Frankston receiver picked up a Division I FBS scholarship opportunity from Mississippi State.

Frankston head coach Matt Nally tweeted of the offer, Rogers' first from a Power 5 conference, Friday afternoon.

Rogers (6-6, 207) now has four offers having previously been made a target by Louisiana Tech, North Texas, and SMU.

Mississippi State, coached by Dan Mullen, enjoyed one of its best seasons in school history in 2014. The Bulldogs spent time ranked No. 1 in the weekly College Football Playoff weekly rankings, and finished the year with a 10-3 record, losing to Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl, 49-34.

Rogers became the fourth player in the East Texas 2016 recruiting class to receive an offer from Mississippi State, joining Mineola offensive linemen Austin and Riley Anderson, and Nacogdoches safety Brandon Jones.

The Frankston standout enjoyed a solid junior campaign. Rogers ranked fifth in East Texas with 57 receptions and caught for a region fifth-best 1,045 yards.

Frankston only played 10 games last season. It did not qualify for the playoffs out of a District 8-3A Division II headlined by state champion Waskom.

Rogers will become eligible to sign with any program that offers him in February.
